The Informant!
What was Mark Whitacre thinking? A rising star at agri-industry giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Whitacre suddenly turns whistleblower. Even as he exposes his company's multi-national price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI, Whitacre envisions himself being hailed as a hero of the common man and handed a promotion.

Sorry but that is all that I thought was good about it. There were some lines, and the costumes were really well done, but I was bored through most of it.

Maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind, but this movie was too campy. Matt Damon does a very good job in the movie. I have no idea why he would have gained weight for the film. It added nothing to the character. Truthfully, I don't know why they made this movie. I like clever, off beat movies. Would I recommend this flick? Yes....as a rental.

‘The Informant!’’ feels like Steven Soderbergh was still high on the fumes of the “Ocean’s Eleven’’ movies when he made it. It’s bright and perky, with a naggingly effervescent score by Marvin Hamlisch that channels late ’60s game shows and never shuts up, even when you want it to. Soderbergh’s pushing the limits of our indulgence here, spinning a story of white-collar greed and bipolar delusions into intentionally shallow pop farce. The movie’s fun to watch, but you can tell it was a lot more fun to make, and that’s a problem. The party stays up on the screen; down here, it’s been over for a year.
